We announce a contest for the title of the book which is written by Martha.
Please send us your proposals. They will be subject to voting, and the title with largest number of votes in the moment of finishing of writing, will be chosen.
Submission of proposals and voting will be possible only on one of our pages.

The contest provides prizes:
1. Placing the name of the author (if he agrees) in the book
2. Free copy of the book with Martha’s autograph
3. Invitation to special dinner with Martha’s closest ones after leaving prison. The exact date and place we will provide later. It will certainly be in more friendly country – Poland.

We present our proposals of the title:
1. “Ireland?
I don’t drive…
I have no gun licence…”
2. “I drove into the water…”
3. “Nightmare in Ireland – how judicial mistake ruined my life”

This is original manuscript, without corrections. Please do not hate Martha for multiple spelling errors. Printed version will be error free.
Here let it be additional “flavour”, showing true, sincere Martha. Plain and good girl, with awful spelling, but with rich, sensitive inside.

What do I think about?

About the accident, about him, and his family. Most often I think “WHY?”.Most often I think about my family.About past and future life.About love surrounding me, familiar and friendly.How long? When? Why? Why?About justice and the power of people holding it.How to teach myself to live with all of this? Get over it? And believe.

I’m not hiding it, I have an anger in me, and it even makes me mad, that I have it. I don’t want to have it inside, but it goes along with sadness, disappointment, fear.I always think about what I have. Great love and my family’s fight, and I know, that I must be strong for them, and not let myself go crazy. They are everything to me, they always were and always will be. Sometimes I think about other women here, that maybe they are who they are because no one loves them? Or maybe they don’t have family?I don’t know, I don’t understand many things here, especially women with children, very sad thing. I think a lot about my great love, tiny dog who died. Her name was Figa (she was a Chihuahua). It certainly wouldn’t happen if I only was with her. My heart aches, but I try to explain this to myself, that now she is my little angel.

Another phenomenon, unique in the world, happens regarding Martha’s writing a book.

Fist, disgraceful one, had already happened:
1. It’s the first case n the world, that the driver of the vehicle falling into the water with a passenger, was convicted to lifetime imprisonment. Absurd accusation – Premeditated murder – will be difficult to beat in the JUDICIARY ABSURD category of jurisprudence of whole world.

Now we have a second unique phenomenon:
2. Martha’s book didn’t make it to print yet, but it already has regular readers. What’s more, it’s an “obligatory reading” for the officers of Dochas Centre prison in Dublin. Not only they read Martha’s writing during work hours, but also they receive money for that.

Martha’s book will not have any target reader. Everyone interested in the tragedy and absurdity of Martha’s case, will be able to reach for it.

Soon we will start sharing what officers from Dochas Centre prison in Dublin read with such interest.

On December 14, 2017 Martha started writing a book.
The book will present, through Martha’s eyes, a precise depiction of situations in Martha’s life in Ireland. Detailed relations and descriptions of what Martha’s life in Ireland looked like. The events that led to the tragedy. Depiction of the accident itself and the moments following the tragedy. The investigation, trials and stay in prison.
Life writes further scenarios. Although Martha is in prison, still a lot is happening.
Life will write the end of this book. Will it finish in happy ending?

Martha’s sister took up the task of printing the book. For understandable reasons, the book will be finished by Martha after getting out of prison.

Is the book necessary?
Death of every human needs truth. Her we also have the tragedy of the survivor. Absurd and preposterous accusation. Glaring injustice and discrimination in the foreign country.
We’ve heard multiple times, that this is a story not only for a book, but even for a movie.
The best person to describe the situation, is the only direct witness and the person whom the tragedy involves.

Will anyone, in some time, want to read to book and buy it?
We don’t know that.
We will publish selected fragments of what will get into the book on our pages.

If the book would become popular, and bring some financial income, would it help Martha’s family in submitting the case to European Court of Human Rights?
The case will probably make her way for ECHR before that.
After regaining freedom Martha will certainly need very specialist psychological help. She went through a great trauma in the form of accident, and things she is still going through affect her psyche in a very negative way.
Martha’s family deplores very much the fact, that such help, despite multiple efforts, is not being given to her in Ireland. Never was such help granted to Martha in Ireland.
The family, in turn, regards caring for Martha’s quite good psychic condition, as far as possible in the unfavourable circumstance, as a matter of utmost importance in helping Martha.

On Friday, February 9th, Martha was asked to return the keys to the library, and was informed that she will no longer work in the library. No reason was given, no justification. It was a big suprise to Martha and the other prisoners. Martha is liked in prison. She’s kind and helpful. The person, who worked in library with Martha, and whom Martha taught, wanted to go to Mrs Governor about Martha.
But what for?
Martha enjoyed working in the library, but she takes all the torments with calmness.

There were never any objections to Martha’s work in the library.
Is this related to her family’s actions outside the prison?

On Tuesday, February 13th, library in Dochas Centre was already closed. Martha was already dismissed from the job, and the person who usually was with her couldn’t come, because she had to do cleaning of some sort.
Fellow inmates asked Martha why she doesn’t go to the library and doesn’t work? Martha answered briefly: “I don’t know”.

We once heard about na “instruction” about Garda’s proceedings. All of Garda’s services are very “clear”:

“When Irish Garda smiles to you and is nice – it is confident, and holds you in it’s hand,When Irish Garda is “pissed”, angry, and annoyed – it means it’s losing”

Martha, without any agreement with her family and friends, got the paintings back in the prison. She had proven thus to Mrs Governor, that they were not sold. She had proven it, she gave the paintings back, but they are not handed back to the owner.

What Martha's sister should do now, to get back the paintings? Select and vote (You can select more than one answer or provide your own, short one)

Report a theft to Garda, and point the place where the paintings are illegaly held

Let it go and do not inflame the situation, because it will make more problems in prison for Martha

Send to Mrs Governor the deed of donation of the paintings to the prison

Patiently wait for returning of the paintings

Send Mrs Governor an official letter requesting the return of her propertyher
